I have shared an easy method to clean raw jackfruit, so do check that before making this dish. Today we will learn how to make South Indian style palakkai kootu following this easy recipe.

    Hi Padhu, I am a great fan of all your recipes, I just love them.

    Just one query, I have noticed that you use only mustard seeds, urad dal, curry leaves and red chillies for tempering or seasoning for almost all the seasonings. We always include 1/2 teaspoon or less of cummin seeds for all our seasonings. Any specific reason for you to avoid cummin for seasoning?

      For South Indian stlye I add only mustard seeds, dal and curry leaves. You can add jeera seeds if you like. I add it mostly for dal and other North Indian dishes. There are no hard and fast rules in cooking. It is all your wish.
